Today, I'm transfering my domain from another registrar to Godaddy. How to transfer domain from another registrar to Godaddy? Use this link to transfer it.

I face a little problem when I have to set up DNS and Nameserver on Godaddy. Fortunately, Godaddy provide complete step How To Set DNS and Nameserver Blogger Custom Domain.

Follow these step below.

To point your Blogger blog to your domain name, you set up domain name mapping, which configures your blog settings and domain name. You update your settings in your Blogger account and our Domain Manager:

Park the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account on our parked nameservers.

Edit the www CNAME record for the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account. This update tells the Web browser to open your Blogger blog when visitors enter your domain name's URL in the browser address bar.

Forward your domain name to use www. This step ensures your Blogger blog displays for visitors who go to your domain name with or without the www prefix. For example, it displays for visitors who entered both www.coolexample.com and coolexample.com

Configure your Blogger account to use your domain name.

To Park Your Domain Name

Log in to your Account Manager.

In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.

Select the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account, and then from the Nameservers, select Set Nameservers.

Select I want to park my domains.

Click OK.

Click OK again.

To Edit Your CNAME Record

Log in to your Account Manager.

In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.

From the Tools menu, select DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.

For the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.

In the CNAME (Alias) section, click the www record.

In the Points To field, type ghs.google.com.

Click Save Zone File, and then click OK.

To Forward Your Domain Name

Log in to your Account Manager.

In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.

Select the domain name you want to forward to your Blogger blog.

From the Forward list, select Forward Domain.

Select http:// or https://, depending on your server settings. For more information on HTTP and HTTPS, see HTTP vs. HTTPS.

In the Forward to field, enter the complete URL, with the www, you want to forward your domain name to. For example, enter www.coolexample.com.

You have no idea how much you've helped me with your article. When I called godaddy to help me with website visitors without the www in the url, my website was no longer working. I used your directions step by step to get it back!!! Thank you very much.
